Additional Information

I was born in Jamaica and moved to the United States at the age of 11, where I initially experienced culture shock but learned to adapt quickly. That experience taught me how to adjust to new environments and connect with people from different backgrounds, which I carry into every workplace. I am open-minded and enjoy challenges that expand my knowledge. I created a blog on mental health awareness to encourage open conversations about well-being, and I actively stay informed about global issues such as government policies, world conflicts, and economic trends. In my free time, I enjoy reading to keep my mind engaged and active.
